If you had taken this advice back then, it would have been well worth it as the $1000 per BTC is now staring us in the face. Investing in bitcoin itself is turning out one of the best performers these few years and I think it is going to attract many more investors and speculators in the coming years, which can be a pointer that the rates would stay mouth watering for sometime.

So, did you really took the advice or what decision did you eventually settle for?

When you carry out market analysis in any financial market, it should never be based on the lower time frames, because those times frames are mostly market noise and doesn't reflect overall market trend. You use as from the 4 Hours time frame, to study and ascertain the main market trend, then scale down to especially the 15 minutes time chart for spotting best entry and exit points.

I think the $1000 price mark is now sure to happen, but massive profit taking would see to it that, $1000 per mark doesn't linger. Subsequently, renewed pressure might see the market testing the level over and over again, giving the huge demand for bitcoin from many corners these days.  

I simply know F2F exchange is a possibility and often more profitable, but I am yet to give it a try, because I have not really found a need to, as my online exchanges are doing just fine. Someday however, I hope to give it a try, though huge amounts are out of the question, except with people I know, should I settle for cash.

I don't think artificial pumping has a thing to do with the surge in price, in the cryptocurrency world, it has been proven there is only bitcoin and the rest. Across the exchanges you can see prices of all other coins are headed south, while bitcoin faces the true north as the pioneer and revolutionary coin.

People across the globe can't help but buy into the money of the future, no thanks to the high inflationary rates burden the fiat currencies have saddled people with already and thank goodness for the respite and safe haven that bitcoin is. As I write, am looking at $902.41 to a bitcoin at CoinDesk, $1000 per BTC is a psychological level, that has been on the lips of many cryptographers, so it is already too late for market price not to get there any moment from now.

Actually it is fundamentals (news) that sets the pace for the movements we see in the financial markets - fiats or cryptocurrencies. Technical analysis only steps in, to delineate the possible range for every such movement. So it is highly essentially that every trader ought to keep his eyes on the news as that's where major upsets in the market is triggered.

If the president elect of the most advanced economy does not know about bitcoin according to you, is it Robert Mugabe that would? We all can agree that the recent increases in the price of bitcoin was spurred by goings-on from a number of countries, but not necessarily of the governments of anyone of those countries taking any positive step in the direction of bitcoin. Rather it was there calculated moves to take the shine out of the coin one way or the other that turned out to polish and got its value appreciating.

Who is government and who is to do the banning? How can something free, borderless and decentralized be banned? Have countries like China and Russia not experimented with banning bitcoin, didn't they succeed instead in making bitcoin more popular and sought after in both countries?

If banning bitcoin were to be all said and done, most governments would have long put paid to that, but bitcoin is something they cannot help. I think governments are rather looking for means to flog bitcoin into line, because, banning just won't work.

Where did you get that the idea that the use of bitcoin goes to destroy a country's local currency? We know the Dollar have been part and parcel of many countries other than the real owner America, yet no recorded incident of the dollar edging out any local currency.

Bitcoin is an emerging technology and many countries are undecided what to do with it, so not to end up shooting themselves in the leg. Russia is really not keen about banning bitcoin, because in the short while they tried to move in that direction, they got the rude awakening that a boarderless, free and decentralized currency cannot be swept under the carpet. So now, they are probably marking time to see what the U.S. comes up with and key in.

It should not be seen as the fault of bitcoin when some people chose to use it for negativity, because we are living in a free society these days and some persons are only happy, when they swim against the tide! Nevertheless, for majority of bitcoiners, they are unto bitcoin, because they see its huge potentials and the bright future ahead of it.

If you are going to be a good and profitable trader, don't raise your foundation on the structured put in place by another trader. On looking at a market chart or another trader's market decisions, if it's all Latin, then trading is probably not your thing and there is no need forcing or faking it, trading is not suitable for everyone. Signals providers are no magicians, so you need to be able to verify their positions, if you must use one, that's what makes for successful trading - not just a copy cat.

The price of any asset never stays all time high as market forces would always give room for market peaks and troughs without necessarily altering the overall market trend. For experienced traders, once a market trend is confirmed, their quest turns to hunting for market troughs, so to buy at cheaper rates again.

So money laundry started off with bitcoin or it has always been there well before bitcoin came on board? Now you know, the reason even those engaged in money laundry prefer bitcoin is because, bitcoin among other attributes, offers more secured, very cheap, instantaneous means for international monetary transactions and also the opportunity to make the transactions anonymous. People always prefer the best or do you know of any other money that comes close?

All agree that buying and holding bitcoin is a good business decision, but something missing is that buying at just any price won't always corroborate our assumption. There is need to time when to buy some bitcoin, so that one does not end up having overpriced coins in one's hand, which might take a very long wait , if at all, to retest same price again.

No time is too late to start learning, especially something that could add color to your future and no knowledge is waste. What is good is that there are far too many free resources online you can start learning from, if you let google be your guide. As for me, my favorite strategy is that of waiting market bounces or breakouts at support and resistance levels. Pivot points or Fibonacci retracement, gives me good head, when it is appropriate to take some positions. Must say that patience is highly needed to be able to use this strategy.

Welldone Yahoo for smooth running of this campaign. I didn't make much posts last week, so I got nothing - that's ok. Today I have been promoted to the rank of Full member, perhaps you can reflect that in the chart for this final lap.

Binary option can very well be gambling if all a trader does is to close his/her yes and say, yeah it is going to go up now. But when a trader is able to back his trading decisions on sound fundamental and technical analysis, then binary option becomes everything, a smarter way to trade in the financial market.

What is not immediately obvious with binary option is that, binary options is really not all about choosing that a market would go up or down. With experience, a trader can delve into options that gives a trader higher probability of ending in the money. For instance, the touch or touch not options, higher than or lower than, etc are far safer ways to trade binary options than the conventional up or down.

There are quite a number of exchanges out there and there rates do not respond to changes in market prices with same speed, so arbitrage opportunities can never be ruled out, only that a trader have to be properly equipped and ready to take action all too soon one is spotted, because these days exchanges deploy very powerful computers to check and offset arbitrage opportunities.

A good way to go about it, is by employing a smart bot and by having good enough funds sitting in one's account in as many exchanges as possible. Something worth giving a second thought here, is that leaving huge amounts in exchanges is not in the best interest of any trader.

There will always be a point of attraction in anything attractive and bitcoin being an investment asset is one such point of attraction among many. Bitcoin holds a lot of answers to financial issues confronting people across the globe, that hardly anyone comes across it and understanding what potentials  it is endowed with and not get hooked!
